My diamond in the dust
How I treasure you
How I love the way you shine
How I thank God
For covering you
Until this season of friendship
Was in its prime
Oh diamond in the dust sweet friend of mine
How was your beauty hidden from me when we first met
As we exchanged chatter and daily news
Who knew how precious you were
But then polished and set in a fine circle
Of tragedy and hurt
I moved and you followed on
My diamond in the dust
Who knows at what point I realised what a find I had
How every facet of you blessed my life
How your very voice would soothe me
So diamond in the dust
I thank God for you
And I make a vow to always treasure you
